The great New York strike has
proved q failure, AS 1t was inevitable
and right that 1t should. To create q
practical cessation Of trade. and throw
into idleness nearly all the unskilled
labor Of a city Of million people.
which was an absolute condition Of
success. WAS, from the beginning, evil
dsatly impossible. There is not and
there neve can be In any free country
any solidarity Of labor that would war
rant such an undertaking. iii could
be- done, for nothing more than to raise
the wages Of few hundred dissatisfied
men, IL would mark the downfall of
individual liberty. This strike has
been q mo- unfortunate affair. from
whatever side il IL viewed. Ii has
thrown out Of work, at a try NJ season
Of the year, many thousands of labor
ers. The loss ia wages alone is esti-
mated Al some hundreds Of thousands
Of dollars. The greater part of II falls
upon men who had no grievance to
complain Of and no demand to make,
but VINO went out soley because they
were ordered to do 50. to compel nc
quiescence In the demands Of the strik-
ers. Most of these men have
lost not only wages but work;
since their employers very generally
ART refusing 10 take back mel who
went out without reason or excuse
Perhaps the severest blow Of all will
fall upon the Knights OF Labor. Pub.
lie opinion, which has been their
mainstay in the past aud which has
supported them In every fair demand.
has Zee In this instance dead against
them from the start. For this was
not q contest for fair wages or fair
play. but a demonstration to prove the
ON lipotence of the walking delegate.
The organization, against the better
counsels Of its leaders. has been drawn
into the struggle aud comes out Of 1t
the loser in every sense. 1t ought not
to need any repititions Of such folly Ms
the southwestern strike and this u
in New York to convince the order of
the necessity of n new aud rigid rule.
Ifit wishes 10 retain it, power aud the
public respect, 1t will prohibit the
ordering of any strike until approved
by some general authority, not lower
I. an the official board OF "A state.
Then. when arbitration has been re-
jected, and when the interests Of all
labor are involved in the settlement Of
a dispute, a general strike may have
some apology and some hope Of suc-
Gers. But it will not take many such
failures as this has been TO bring disas-
ter upon those who are responsible for
them.-Pioneer Press.

A LARGE number of Americans who
were induced by glowing descriptions
and well worded advertisements to
join the Owens socialistic colony at
Topolobampo, on the Gulf of Califor-
mia, arrived in san Francisco. Cal, a
disappointed and disgusted crowd.
They pronounce the colony n gigantic
fraud. The manager of the swindle
has succeeded in getting about $780,
900 by sales Of stock and lots In
the ''city" on Topolobampo bay.
This city consists Of Il single rough
board shanty aud about thirty
tents, while the cite is unhealthy in
the extreme. IL is marshy and mslar-
ious. and the surrounding country is
nothing but sand, rocks aud cactus.
Water supplies had to be carried
seven miles and there Is much sickness
among the deluded c~olonists, many OF
whom are anxious to get away but
have no means left to do so. The fine
harbor, Of which 30 much has been
said, is too shallow to accommodate
anything but q small boat. aud to
reach one must wade for half q mile In
water. The San Francisco party went
TO Guymas with a large party from
the east. AT that point they contrib.
uted 81, 900 TO the agent Of the colony
to buy provisions, but when they
reached Topolobamtpo they were
charged twenty-five cents for each
meal from their own food. The ground

Entertaining Guest. In Mexico.


When a Mexican lady opens her house
to company she does not feel bound TO
provide her guests with an expensive and
abundant variety Of refreshments. She
presumes they come to dance, converse
and enjoy themselves-not to discrimi-
nate between granizedo frozen drinks
amntccadas ice creams), Roman punch
and jellies, and then complain TO all their
friends and acquaintance the next day
that everything was scantily supplied and
was so stale that it made them sick all
night. The Mexican hostess simply has
her servants hand around trays OF glasses
filed with sparkling water OF with san
gria-a very refreshing draught COM
posed of equal portions OF wine and
water, with sugar ad libitum and suili-
Gent lemon juice to give it a pungcnt
flavor.
Frequently each glass Of water is ac-
compnied by q porous stick or mass Of
c~rysiallizcd sugar slightly favored with
lemon juice. 1t dissolvcs instantan"ously
in water. Attending q most grateful and
refreshing drink. These sugar sticks are
known by different NAMES in different
Mexican cities. being yariously called
dolados, esponjados, a~zucarilos and pan
alcs. No headaches or stomachic pains
are caused by Mexican tertulias, They
afford an excellent opportunity TO take
tcrpsichorcan exercise and get upan appe-
tite. Then everybody is free To go home
and take a late supper. a meal that every
Mexican prefers TO eat in his own house,
as he would renounce the most richly
spread table at which etiquette would
compel him to keep his coat on his back
in favor Of his f~rijolics deans cooked in
oiD and radishes in his shirt.-Kansas

Hay In NORWAY.

Hay is so scarce to feed the stock in
winter that the Norwegians resort TO
what would seem 10 US the most ridicu-
lous economy, going over every scatter
ing patch along the roadside and the
fields. IL is cut with the sickle and dried
for hay. Owing TO the constant rains
they have what look like fences or racks
placed in their fields at all sorts Of angles.
and when the grass is cut IL is twisted
roughly ovcr these fences sufficiently
tight 10 hold it there and yet to let the
wind blow readily through it so as to dry

The recent report Of the secretary OF
state In Louisiana affords an argument
for the Blair education bill. II APP
pears thar the percentage Of il~literate
voters has increased from AS since
1880 TO 52l. The particularly dis
graceful fact Is that illiteracy Is IN the
rapid increase and that the state does
not make adequate provisions to keep
IL down. The people are becoming
aroused TO their danger, however, and
are not only duly urging the passage
Of the Blair bill, but are moving earn
estly to secure larger appropriations Of
state funds for the public schools.

from that questiony'-and Miss Margaret
Winthrop turned sharply round and looked
at her brOther-in-law as if for reply.

Miss Winthrop was not sOOthed by the
suggestion. She regarded 1t as an unwhole-
some state of civilization in which woman
with handsome income and natural bias
toward contentment could not pursue her
own course without being headed off at
every turn with that imbecile query. Among
her friends she was spoken of as eccentric,
a woman who unfortunately had ideas, and,
possessing inestimable advantages, had sig
nally failed to make any use of them. This
failure was all the more conspicuous from
the fact that In her first season she had
promised much. She had allowed brilliant
opportunities to slip through her fingers one
